Sneaky Plumrosefist

Sneaky Plumrosefist

Mahakeya is supposed to have control of leveling for the time being. However, Plumrosefist, "Fist," played a hidden card and got herself invited to a trip to the Broken Isles. With Jocy's concurrence, she saved her invasion chests instead of using them to improve her gear. The idea is to see if the chests contain better gear if the holder has reached the Broken Isles and attained at least level 101. It's likely as moot point, now, with the new Legion gear already flowing in. Still, I want to test the theory.

I also want to comment on the Pandaria process that Fist went through to get into Legion. Well done in my opinion, and tough enough to be challenging. I actually felt the testing to be worth it, and it was fun, too, searching for clues to the riddles posed by the quests. The weapon of a brewmaster monk is also interesting, too. It's just a staff, but the way she holds it is different than any other I've seen. "Fu Zan, the Wanderer's Companion" can be strapped to her back but can also be carried over her shoulder, which looks pretty cool.

Back to the current situation. Fist opened one chest and received an i700 wrist. No hint that it was any more than that. Lucky for Fist, it was an upgrade. While she was at it, she used up her nethershards to improve two more pieces of gear. She went from i676 to i693. Not bad.

The next test will be when she reaches level 101 and opens another chest. Till then, Fist plans to make the most of her opportunity. She's already down on the Isles at Aszuna. And yes, she checked to make sure she had a flight master tagged.

In Dalaran Fist made a visit to The Filthy Animal, where her mother once lived. Not the worst dive she's ever seen, but still a dive. Her mother, now alliance, would not be welcome there.

Good News! The Auctioneer addon is back in business! Chaitee and Happyface are elated that the standard bearer of auctions has returned to normal operations. The many non-auctioneer goers with suspect math expertise will still be taken to the cleaners, but Auctioneer makes that a lot harder. For now prices on gear and items are kind of all over the place. Chaitee has been taking bids on a lot of gear from level 101 to 110 hoping to get lucky from owners who don't pay attention to bid expiration. Some gear may go to those who need them, but she also hopes to cash in by selling them back at a much higher price. Profession materials are still very expensive and should be sold for gold instead of crafted right now.

Keya is chomping at the bit to get back into action. Fist, however, is pushing back, wanting to finish the testing Jocy demands of her. Fist returned to Aszuna and worked her way to Level 101. She then tested the rest of the chests she'd kept all that time. They were all Felshroud gear, the same as the rest of the invasion gear. Oh well, it was worth the chance. Fist's gear level of i702 already looks a bit outdated. Her staff has just 325 AP. However, she might have had to wait a long time getting into Legion had she not held on to those chests.

Fist's second profession is a little less dangerous. She plans to sort through every piece of discarded gear clogging up her room at the Flithy Aninal and making sweet ensembles. She takes her own special pride in being a smart looking clotheshorse. She even volunteered to figure out how transmogs work.
